Honor is preparing to shake up the tablet market once again. The company has officially confirmed that it will unveil two new models soon — the MagicPad 3 and MagicPad 3 Pro. While the standard version will reportedly feature a 12.5-inch display, the real star of the show is the MagicPad 3 Pro, which promises to deliver groundbreaking performance as the first tablet powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

This marks an important milestone for both brands. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — Qualcomm’s latest and most advanced processor — is expected to surpass 4 million points in AnTuTu benchmarks, pushing mobile performance into laptop territory. Pairing such a chipset with a tablet signals Honor’s ambition to merge portability with professional-grade power. The MagicPad 3 Pro is shaping up to be a true high-end machine aimed at both multimedia consumption and serious productivity.

According to early teasers, the MagicPad 3 Pro will feature a 13.3-inch LCD display with an impressive 165 Hz refresh rate, ensuring buttery-smooth visuals for gaming, creative work, and general use. This high refresh rate, combined with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s enhanced GPU, positions the tablet as a perfect all-rounder for entertainment and content creation alike. The design itself seems to build on the clean, minimalist aesthetic of previous MagicPad models, while refining the bezels and form factor for a sleeker, more balanced look.

Under the hood, Honor is expected to equip the MagicPad 3 Pro with a battery exceeding 10,000 mAh, complemented by fast charging for extended sessions without interruption. This combination of power, endurance, and speed could make it one of the most capable Android tablets ever released. Reports also suggest the tablet will launch alongside the Honor Magic 8 smartphone series, sharing a similar AI-enhanced software experience.

The official launch date is set for October 15, with the reveal event scheduled to take place in China.
